Idid not reply to the second telegram because such
an appointment does not depend on me, and in general
it is hardly possible, as it upsets thewholeorder of
things.[1]

TheCzechoslovak (and kulak) danger is so grave that
I think you ought to make (and Trotsky will probably
agree) a tour of the Western and Southern (German) fronts,
etc., to speed up the transference of troops from there to
the Czechoslovak front.

[1]Podvoiskyhad proposed taking upon himself the leadership in
suppressing the Czechoslovak revolt and counter-revolutionary
actions in the Volga area and the Urals.
